I purchased this DVD/CD drive to use with my new MacBook. It works very well, very compact, easy to store. A must for all new Macs with no built in drive.

I still wish the Apple computers had the built in disc drive, but I haven't had any troubles with the drive. It works just as you expect it would. Just plug it in and it's operational.

I was not aware that you would need a power supplying usb converter to use this, I’ve always had good luck with plug and play but this one plugged and didn’t play. Got a power supplying usb and it works great.

This is a gotta have item for me. The only thing is you need the new adapter plug. So you may want to buy more than one adapter plug for USB ports if you use more than one item at a time.

The new desktops don’t have DVD/CD drives any more and this is the simplest way to load all those old CD’s. Great unit- no software, no apps, just plug and use.

Since the laptop we purchased didn't have a built in DVD player, an external one was necessary. Went with one sales person recommended. Happy with purchase, super easy to use!

The iMac doesn’t have a disc drive so if you want to use a DVD with your Mac it is a must have. I bought the Apple and I am pleased with it.

While most laptops do not come with cd rom drives anymore, we still use actual cd's and dvd's. This product was very easy to setup and use. Highly recommend for any old school users out there!

Works as expected. Could have went with a less expensive choice, but wanted Apple to match new computer: Definitely works well and looks sharp.

I use the Superdrive with my 27" iMac desktop. It was easy to attach and works great playing DVDs and copying my CDs to my Apple music file and iPhone. I haven't tried to burn any discs with it.

A necessity for those afraid that the "clouds" will one day mysteriously vanish or have invested a gazillion dollars in dvds. At least it can be shared by multiple users and works beautifully.
